Round 4 COWELL SHARES
LEAD
EAST Perth’s
Brent Cowell has moved up to share the lead in the voting for the Football
Budget’s prestigious Player-of-the-Year Award with South Fremantle’s James
Byrne.
Cowell was
best-on-ground in the Royals’ win over
Claremont last
Sunday. Subiaco ruckman David Lucas also made a strong move into equal second
place with a best-on-ground performance against Perth.
The voting system
for this award is the same as last season, with football journalists voting on
a 3-2-1
basis for each game.
The winner of the
award will be deemed the fairest and best player, with any player who has been
suspended by the tribunal during the season ineligible for the award. The
winner will receive a generous prize.
The presentation
of the award will be conducted at an end of season function hosted by Football
Budget publisher Wright Media.
